Breakout player of the year

[Rastak]

I big weakness I see over the past number of years is kick/punt return - who is our guy now? To me, starting field position leads to game changes and more points plus puts the D in a better position if the drive fails.

Here I voted GJ, I think Hawk broke out last year. Jennings needs to learn to take a hit (and not always fight for yards) - he hurt his longevity last year that way. With #4 and a year of experience, I expect big things given our inability to upgrade this position w/ vets or potential impact rooks.

I'd go Jennings myself. I didn;t think Hawk broke out at all the end of last year. I admit I didn't see all the games but when I did see him he seemed solid but unspectacular. He might emerge this season.

Led team in total tackles in rookie year.

3rd in AP Def Rook of Year.

2 INTs in December.

2 time Rook of the Week (once against the Vikes )

Met my expectations and is clearly not a flop but does have room to improve.

That ain't bad!

[Freak Out]

I have to go with Jennings. The main reason being is that #4 is back and Jennings should be much more durable this year as well as knowing his routes and responsibilities much better. I see both he and Driver having good years, maybe great if we can get a solid running attack going as well.

I voted B. Jackson, because it made me think Bo Jackson.

PATRICK DENDY!!

You do realize this is the "Breakout Player" thread, right?

I believe you are looking for the "Just a Guy" thread, which is just a few topics down.

Yes, that's the thread where Martin is getting the most votes

[BallHawk]

If Martin doesn't pan out, I'll look like a complete idiot.

Good thing that won't happen.

I picked AJ Hawk but I hope it's Greg Jennings.

I will be very surprized if any of our RB's stand out. On what basis could I think otherwise?

GO PACKERS !!

[packers11]

Hawk and Jennings leading (the way I thought)... I'm surprised a lot of people are picking B. Jackson to have a breakout year his rookie season, I wouldn't mind at all, but I don't see it...

That would fall under the category of wishful thinking.

My write in vote goes to Rex Grossman ! He will have a GREAT season this year, more weapons, more exposure, more better ! Your Chicago BEARS are poised to do it again, (only WIN it this time !)
Is lord farve having a tissy fit this week ? What now, he don't like the cheese cold?

That's just Gross

Thank God the Bears have Rex; with a legitimate QB they would be a real threat
